Mid-August Update

We've been in the studio quite a lot this summer, and we've managed to record bed tracks for 10 songs so far. We're currently going through those tracks, doing some editing, figuring out overdubs, etc. We will be doing another 6 days of recording in a couple of weeks—we'll be laying down 2 new tracks and fleshing out the others (adding vocals, and other bits). Very exciting, things are moving along at a rapid pace when compared to the last 4 years (heh).

Tim, what I like about you is that you're a total ball-buster. It has actually been more like 6 years if you go by what is commonly accepted as "time" by most humans. I just meant, that we've accomplished more in recent months than we had done in a long time. But the good news is that we just completed 6 straight days in the studio and we've finished recording the music for 12 songs, so now we just have to lay down some vocals, do some mixing and we're off to the races! Give it another couple of years and we should be done this bad boy! (i'm kdding man!)

Things People Say

"Uncut sounded like they might make [the venue] collapse under the weight of the band's sheer volume." - CMJ

"Husker New, anyone? Canadian foursome Uncut have a similarly fine way with brittle belligerence ("Let's just kill all the living" opines opener 'Darkhorse'), labyrinthe melodies (see the epic 'Out of Sight') and artfully fractious strums (particularly 'Chainfight'), making this a minor post-hardcore masterclass." - Rocksound Magazine

"Their driving, propulsive, rock-solid tunes have always impressed me, but with the release of this song on their new album "Modern Currencies", the band has exploded, coming up with what might be a late contender for the best-of lists of 2006." - CBC Radio 3

"Surely this is the record that will finally elevate Uncut to the level of notoriety enjoyed by some of its lesser Toronto indie-rock compatriots." - Toronto Star

"Their songs just keep expanding with such sonic intensity that with each successive listen they rise to unimaginable minacious heights. " - Caught in the Carousel

"This group acts as if it’s all simple but I dare say that you can’t produce something this extraordinary without paying a hell of a lot of attention." - Smother.net

"No sophomore slump with this gem of an album." - PopMatters

"Uncut has evolved into a force to be reckoned with." - SceneandHeard.ca

"I can honestly say, hand on heart, that Uncut now seems to shine beyond many of the classic alternative rock musicians they list as influence." - Milk Milk Lemonade

"...you kind of get the feeling that Uncut could explode into a million pieces of musical chaos... somehow they don't and they manage to have enough pop sense to actually write tunes around all this insanity that are catchy, memorable, and very good." - Pacific Coast News
